I learned to code 3 years ago-- I've worked professional in it for 2.5 years. A couple of changes I've had (that occured fairly early on) were: 1. A nitpicky eye for detail. Even in my non-coding life I seem to be just a bit more detail focused than I usually am. 2. Tenacity and willingness to 'jump in'. I think this was always a strength for me but now, as long as I'm not totally stumped, when I find something (a bug, or a new thing I'm curious about) I will just dive in and explore.
